taj_mahal07 and bluesolis42 , who reminded me that I never watched Farscape. My bad. Also? Thank you both for your friendship and the endless amusement you bring to my days.

There are no days on a starship.
Sure, Moya cycles the lights so it sorta seems like there’s days, but there’s not.
Not really.
And without days, there’s no weeks, months, or years.
It’s easy to lose track of time.
Still, I know it’s Christmas on Earth.
Don’t ask me why, but I keep up with such things.
Of course, no one here knows to ask me what I want.
That frustrates me. Not because that’s their fault, but because for once I can actually answer.
It’s cliché, but it’s true.
I only want one thing to open up.
Aeryn.

Date: Dec. 30th, 2009 06:42 pm (UTC)When I first started watching I was very surprised at how...different the show was. Even the puppets work for me. I think that was my biggest barrier but I quickly stopped viewing Rygel and Pilot as anything other than richly drawn characters.
I think I fell hard for the show after Won't Get Fooled Again. Total WTF moment. I loved it!! As I watched I couldn't believe how beautifully messed up it was. Wait, maybe I fell for the show when Crichton was about to be bronzed and instead of having a manly, dignified pose, he's all bent up with that look on his face. Wait...I could go on but suffice it to say this show has grabbed me and now I know what all the fuss is about.
As soon as I finished the PK Wars mini-series I immediately popped in the Premier ep. A rewatch was mandantory as I still can't believe how well threads from earlier seasons are picked up later.
Other things I'm very impressed about: Continuity, continuity, continuity. Nothing happens in a vaccuum here. Consequences all around. Big story arcs, little story arcs, passion, sexyness (this show has some very adult sensibilities and I love that), sensuality, emotion (I've cried. More than once). Nothing is easy - the writers don't give the characters easy ways out. And I like these characters very much. But we'll discuss that after you've seen all the eps.
All in all - here's what I have to say about Farscape: Whoah! What a ride!!
